Xiao Ruxun angrily scolded Mao Wenlong, scolding Mao Wenlong with a grudge.

Then Mao Wenlong twisted his body and lay in front of Xiao Ruxun, and said loudly: "I know my mistake, I know my mistake! I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish me!"

"Recipe your crime? What are you punished? You made great contributions and killed the head of Jiannu. I want to reward you. What are you punishing your crime? I said, you did not make any mistakes, you did the right thing! How do you ask me to cure your crime?"

Mao Wenlong couldn't say a word.

Seeing that Xiao Ruxun achieved his goal, he stopped intimidating him. He paused and asked again: "Mao Wenlong, I heard that you are from Hangzhou?"

"……yes."

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment and quickly replied.

"The beautiful land of Hangzhou has raised countless gentlemen. How could you raise such a generous hob meat for Hangzhou? As the saying goes, one place is well-known for nourishing the other people. Your style of conduct is very different from that of Hangzhou."

Xiao Ruxun said as she walked back to her seat and sat down.

"I... Although I grew up in Hangzhou, my ancestral home is Pingyang, Shanxi, and my behavior is very different from Jiangnan. My grandfather's generation moved to Hangzhou because of business needs."

"Oh, that's it, no wonder, Shanxi, Pingyang, a few years ago, I fought a war in Shanxi, and passed by Pingyang, and fought a war in Pingyang."

Xiao Ruxun recalled the past a little, then asked again: "I heard that you have read the Four Books and Five Classics and have also taken the imperial examination?"

"Yes, when I was young, I received a tip from my mother's uncle Shen Guangzuo, so I was able to study under the Shen family and prepare for the job of recruiting my sons. However, when I was young, I was very poor and loved military books and hated the job of recruiting my sons, so I never got fame."

"Shen Guangzuo? Isn't this my Shuntian Prefecture? Why has he never mentioned your name to me?"

Xiao Ruxun suddenly remembered Shen Guangzuo, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. He was from Hangzhou. He was like Li Tingji during the Northern Expedition, and fled back to his hometown to take refuge.

His family is well-off and he is comfortable in Hangzhou. As a result, the Northern Expedition Army attacked Hangzhou. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately gave up his family business and took his whole family to Nanjing to find Xiao Ruxun to survive.

Afterwards, the man followed Xiao Ruxun all the way to the capital, and then submitted a letter to ask Xiao Ruxun to ascend the throne to the throne.

Later, due to his qualifications in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Guangzuo was appointed as the prefect of Shuntian. He is currently assisting Li Tingji in handling Ma Zheng. He did a good job and was given a piece of land in the capital. He seemed to have forgotten his ancestral property in Hangzhou and started from the capital again. It is quite interesting.

But Xiao Ruxun didn't know that this person was Mao Wenlong's mother's uncle.

"The one who promised to join the army in Hangzhou was my mother's uncle."

Mao Wenlong said.

"Oh? There's something like this?"

"Yes, because I don't like reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and my career has not improved. My uncle doesn't like me very much. Before the army arrived in Hangzhou, my uncle suddenly said to me, "If you don't like studying, then go and join the army. The opportunity is right in front of me, let's see if you can grasp it."

Then I left some money for me and took my whole family away. It was only after I joined the army that I learned that my uncle's family had actually gone to Nanjing to surrender to His Majesty."

Mao Wenlong honestly explained his relationship with Shen Guangzuo.

Xiao Ruxun nodded and said, "This time the imperial court has used troops to the southwest. You have lived in Jiangnan for a long time. Do you know where the key points of the imperial court's use of troops are?"

Mao Wenlong raised his head, looked at Xiao Ruxun, and then lowered his head.

"What Your Majesty said about using troops to the southwest is the four chieftains of Guizhou, An Song Tianyang?"

"Yes, An Songtianyang, do you understand?"

Mao Wenlong nodded.

"When I was young, I lived at my uncle's house. I heard that local merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou bought the wood, minerals and paint from the southwest toast, and the most were these four."

"oh!"

Xiao Ruxun figured out the relationship here: "I decided to use military force against them, eliminate their threats to the central government, and thoroughly implement the policy of changing land and returning to the land."

Mao Wenlong was a little surprised.

"What Your Majesty said is the four chieftains An Song Tianyang, and they will not let anyone go?"

"Yes, don't let anyone go."

A sharp light flashed in Xiao Ruxun's eyes: "It's all the land of the Qin Dynasty. How can we tolerate the existence of the local emperors who are not controlled by the central government? They all have tens of thousands of troops, making me unable to sleep or eat! How can I allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed? On the territory of the Qin Dynasty, I do not allow forces that do not obey orders."

Mao Wenlong swallowed.

"Even if I live in Hangzhou, I know that the four chieftains are very powerful. If the four chieftains unite together, I am afraid that they will not be able to mobilize less than 200,000 soldiers and horses. It is not that delicious. Please think twice!"

"Twenty-hmph, I think I can get 300,000!"

Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath: "But the more this happens, the more I can't tolerate them. All the world is the king's land, the shores of the land, or the king's ministers. I don't like the existence of land in the Qin Dynasty that is not controlled by me. If so, take it over."

Mao Wenlong swallowed again.

Your Majesty's strength is rare in ancient and modern times. I am afraid that only Taizu of the previous dynasty and Qin Shihuang can be compared.

"But how can we eliminate 300,000 local soldiers?"

Mao Wenlong didn't understand where the emperor's confidence came from.

Xiao Ruxun looked at Mao Wenlong and suddenly laughed.

"Don't you like to take credit for merit? I'll give you this credit. If you can come up with a solution, I'll let you lead troops to attack the southwest. What about?"

Mao Wenlong was shocked and looked up at Xiao Ruxun: "What Your Majesty says is serious?"

"You have no jokes."

Xiao Ruxun smiled.

"I...I am not without ideas!"

Mao Wenlong could not resist the temptation of great military achievements and immediately spoke: "In my opinion, if the four chieftains united together, they would certainly be a giant, which is difficult to deal with, but the four chieftains each have their own conflicts and have a feud between them. Now that the Yang family is out of the way, Your Majesty can issue an imperial edict to let the other three families unit to unite to destroy the Yang family and adopt the strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolfs."

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Ruxun excitedly.

Xiao Ruxun picked up the tea bowl in front of him, blew his breath, and slowly drank a sip of tea.

"Just you know how to drive tigers and swallow wolves, they don't know that their lips and teeth are cold? Do you think that these chieftains are illiterate savages? They read no fewer books than you! They recognize no fewer words than you, and they know no fewer allusions than you. Don't think that the word "earth" on their names is very rustic. From the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, they can survive in the cracks for hundreds of years. Even if they are pigs, they are still pigs that become spirits!"

Mao Wenlong blinked his eyes, as if he was confused and could not speak.

"And if I can mobilize them to swallow Yang's murder, why should I mobilize the army to attack them? Do you really think that my imperial edict is rampant and unobstructed? If the imperial edict can be achieved, what should the army do? What should you do?"

Xiao Ruxun put down the tea bowl, stood up, and looked at Mao Wenlong with dissatisfaction: "Military and national affairs, the place of life and death, the way of survival and death, what you said is like a child's play. If such a simple problem can be solved, would the civil and military officials of the former Ming Dynasty and my think tanks not think of a solution? Do you think they are all fools? Or should I be fools?"

Mao Wenlong came back to his senses and quickly bent down to apologize.

"I am afraid, I am speechless!"

"What about smart people in your mind? How can I not see it? If you do great things, how can you not have great wisdom? You look down on your colleagues and think they are all burdens. You can do things by yourself, and you will only have five thousand remaining soldiers! But now, the four chieftains, 300,000 soldiers, and you will solve it alone?"

After being scolded by Xiao Ruxun, Mao Wenlong knelt on the ground and couldn't say a word, and his body was still trembling.

"No matter how strong a person's force is, no matter how elite an army is, it is always powerless when facing enemies that are several times more powerful than him. If you do not know how to coordinate your companions to fight and share pressure, you will definitely lose. There is no need for a lone hero in the army!"

Xiao Ruxun walked to Mao Wenlong and scolded him angrily.

Mao Wenlong hurriedly said, "I am wronged! I am guilty! Please forgive me!"

"Come!"

Xiao Ruxun ignored him: "Mao Wenlong said wildly, he lost his manners in front of the emperor, was disrespectful, and took a stick to twenty, was dismissed, and was dismissed from his military post, and sent it to Zheng Ying, the chief general of the Xuanwu Camp of Wuchang Prefecture, to listen to it!"

Mao Wenlong was shocked and hurriedly begged for mercy, but the guards outside the hall rushed in and pulled him away without waiting for mercy.

While being pulled, Mao Wenlong begged for mercy, but suddenly, he seemed to have figured out something, and he didn't beg for mercy or struggle, and turned to look surprised.

"My minister Mao Wenlong! Thank you for your kindness!!!"
